Georgia watched a man sprint up to her and knock the maniac to the ground just as she was ready to give up.
A squad of security guards hurried over as soon as the alarm went off.
"Are you all right, Georgia?"
Travis was the one who brought the lunatic to his knees. He inquired of Georgia after seeing that the lunatic had been apprehended by security guards.
Georgia's eyes welled up with tears in an instant.
"I thought I was going to die..."
Georgia was crushed, and the prospect of fighting the god of death just now terrified her.
Travis was distressed to see her in such anguish, so he lifted her from the floor, while Georgia did nothing but bury her shivering body in his arms. She had been nearly stabbed in the stomach, and the panic had not subsided, she needed to hold this man to feel better.
Georgia was comforted by Travis' gentle touch on the back.
"Fear not, I'm here, everything will be fine. You can't live here by yourself any longer, you'll need to hire bodyguards. You are now one of the wealthiest people on the planet, and you require the services of bodyguards. I argued with you when you stated you didn't need anyone around, but look at you now, you're on the verge of getting wounded. You may die if I weren't here today, and what should I do if that happened?"
Georgia kept nodding, she was terrified, and everything Travis stated was true to her at the time. The chief security rushed over to help.
"Do you need to go to the hospital, Ms Lane, because your hand is injured?" We've reported the lunatic to the cops, and they'll look into it further. We sincerely apologize, there was a glitch in our security system, and we have no idea how the lunatic got through the gate, we are sorry, Ms Lane."
As the chief security of this residential area, he must be held accountable for allowing residents to be nearly stabbed by a maniac, it was a disaster for them. He could only hope that Ms Lane would not make a big deal out of it, or else their reputation would suffer. The other wealthy families could be banded together and moved out of the area.
He could lose his job as a result, and he might not be able to find another.
He was in command, and he was held accountable for what had happened today.
Georgia wasn't in the mood to talk to him, her terror had not abated, and she couldn't hear a word he said.
Travis, on the other hand, released Georgia and saw her blood-stained hands, his eyes were stinging.
"Look at your hands, Georgia, you're injured, let's get to the hospital right away, we need to get these wounds treated as soon as possible."
Georgia gave a modest nod. They disregarded the chief security, who could only keep apologizing and asking his team to report the situation to the owner while standing motionless by Georgia and Travis, waiting to make another round of apologies.
Elsie emerged just as Travis was ready to send Georgia to the hospital.
"Georgia, I just heard someone scream. What happened?"
Travis was enraged and threw a temper tantrum at Elsie.
"How come you left her alone just now?" Do you have any idea what happened? She was nearly stabbed in the stomach by a psychopath who ran up to her. Why didn't you stay beside Georgia to safeguard her since her legs are still too weak for her to walk on her own?"
Travis roared those words and looked remorsefully at Elsie. Elsie, too, had spotted Georgia's injured hands and was immediately struck with guilt. "I'll contact the driver right now to transport us to the hospital now," she replied instead of fighting with Travis. "Oh no, I should first get the first aid kit to bandage up the wound and then get treatment in the hospital..."
Elsie was correct, and Travis agreed with a nod.
They were in the car driving to the hospital after a short time, and Elsie was wrapping up Georgia's hands with gauze.
Now that Georgia had regained control of her panic and emotion, she turned to Travis.
"It's not Elsie's fault, Travis, she needed the bathroom just now, and I wanted to stay a little longer for some fresh air and a view of the sky, don't blame her."
Travis realized he'd gone too far just now and apologized to Elsie.
"Sorry for yelling at you just now, I was too impulsive. This isn't your fault, and neither of you should continue to live here. Either relocate or employ bodyguards, which you may hire female bodyguards if you like. Georgia, you must be aware of your status as one of the world's wealthiest people, even if you have no enemies, those aiming for your money will attempt to abduct you, and you will require the services of bodyguards."
Georgia appeared to be remorseful, as she hadn't given this enough thought.
"I get it, I won't be living alone at the villa with Elsie anymore, I'll employ security."
They made their way to the hospital. The medics treated and dressed the wounds, the cuts were deep but not severe.
When they returned home, the chief security officer and the cops arrived.
"Ms Lane, we've filed a police report and the madman has been taken to the station, the officers are here to ask a few questions, please don't mind, Ms Lane."
Georgia was unconcerned, but she was astonished to see a familiar face, it was the same police officer who had previously paired with Selena.
"Hello, Mr Camden, it's been a long time since we've seen one other."
Camden gave Georgia a gentle smile. "Because you're injured, Ms Lane, we won't take up much of your time, just a few questions to keep track of things."
Georgia said, "Let's go in first." Camden and his companion were escorted into the living area by the three of them.
"When the incident occurred, no one was present. Please give us a quick description of the incident, Ms Lane, and since this gentleman saved you, we'll need his testimony as well."
Georgia said, "His name is Travis..."
"After me, he'll give you his testimony." She then began to describe the assault.
"After we got out of the car, Elsie pushed me to the villa. While Elsie needed to use the restroom, I decided to stay out a little longer. I was alone as the maniac ran down the stairs with a knife in his hand, I wanted to run, but my legs were too weak to do so. After that, he shoved me to the ground and attempted to stab me in the stomach. I was at a loss for what to do and grabbed the knife with my bare hands, resulting in the injuries you see now. Travis emerged and knocked him down to the ground just as I was ready to give up, security guards raced over, and I was taken to the hospital."
As Georgia finished, Camden inquired. "Do you know who the attacker is, Ms Lane?"
"I've never seen him," Georgia said, shaking her head.
"Do you have any enemies?" Camden inquired once more.
Georgia wanted to say she had a lot, but none with a murderous intention but she didn't.
Instead, she said, "You should know that I inherited the SY Group, I'm aware that many others are jealous, but I'm not sure who would launch an attack, so I can't offer you any information."
Camden didn't ask any more questions and instead turned to Travis.
"I came to visit Georgia and saw the lunatic attacking her, so I raced over to strike him down..."
After recording everything, Camden and his partner stood up.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Ms Lane and Mr Armstrong, we will investigate the attacker and offer updates as needed."
Camden hesitantly inquired after that, just as Georgia was about to send them out.
"I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to ask, but do you know where Selena is? Since she resigned last year, we haven't communicated, and I'm concerned about her well-being."
Georgia regrettably shook her head. "For a year, I was unconscious, and I have no idea where she is now. But don't worry, she'll be all right because she quit of her own choice and went abroad."
Camden was mildly disappointed by Georgia's answer, but he departed without asking any further questions.
Robert, on the other hand, found out that Georgia had been hurt when the chief security officer informed the owner of the incident.
This residential neighbourhood was built as part of the Shaos Group's investment project. He chose a villa and moved in when he returned, he was aware that Georgia had moved in, but he was unconcerned.
But now, he had to concern because she had been harmed in this area.
The rigorous security system of this property was its selling feature, one could only move in after passing a series of selections, and it was not a residence for any wealthy person.
It had a history of zero crime for more than four years, earning its high name. Robert even planned to construct this type of residential neighbourhood in other cities, turning it into a profit-making business model.
But now that something like this had happened to Georgia, and they were not in a good term, Robert concerned that she would make a big issue out of it, tarnishing the area's reputation, and so jeopardizing his investment plans.
If this had occurred to someone else, Robert could easily cover up by compensating with money, but Georgia despised him and was wealthy and powerful enough to launch a war on him. Georgia had the resources to begin an online debate if she insisted on doing so, and Robert would likely lose.
Now the only option was to calm her down and not make a big fuss about it.
Robert hesitated, concerned that Georgia might take advantage of the situation, but he couldn't stand by and watch.
Robert contacted Georgia, who was watching TV with Elsie on the sofa, after a long period of uncertainty. Travis, on the other hand, was in the kitchen preparing a meal. Georgia noticed Robert's name on the screen when the phone rang, and she thought it was odd that Robert had called.
"Hello, why did you call?" she asked.
Georgia's straightforward question caused Robert to hesitate even further. He had previously mocked Georgia and been kicked out from M Garden, she had embarrassed him numerous times, but he now had to apologize to her, if this news got out, it would be the talk of the town.
However, as the group's CEO, it was his responsibility to do so.
"Ms Lane, our company will take full responsibility for what happened to you today and will compensate all your losses. We sincerely hope that you will remain calm, not to be taken over by your emotions and do something rash."
Georgia didn't understand at first but realized it after a while.
"This residential development is one of the investment projects under your company?"
"You weren't aware of that?" Robert asked in doubt.
Georgia smiled, "I moved in just so I can see you."
Her answer put Robert in silence. He didn't know what to say.
Georgia went on, "You said something rash, implying that you're afraid I'll make a big deal out of it tarnishing your company's reputation? Is it true that I am such an irrational person to you, Robert?"
Robert did believe it, and he anticipated her to exploit him or threaten him.
Georgia was irritated by his silence. "Because you think of me in that light, I'll carry out your request. Will you make a pledge to me or will you allow me to make a big issue out of this?"
"What do you want me to do?" Robert inquired.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "Cancel your wedding and reschedule it for a year later, I believe it will be enough time for you to reclaim your memories. If you still chose Sierra after a year, I won't intervene any further."
"I'm not going to agree to this." Georgia grinned helplessly as Robert immediately rejected her. Did Sierra mean that much to him?
Why would she give him this favour then?
"If you think a year is too long, make it six months," she mocked. "If you reject, I'm not opposed to using all of my resources to have an online discussion with you, and let's see who comes out on top at the end."
